Amelia 1

It was an afternoon in April 1928, Amelia receives a phone call. From the other end of the phone, a male voice asks her:

“Would you like to be the first woman to fly on the Atlantic?”

Thus begins her adventurous and nonconformist life, transported on that occasion like a sack of potatoes … fame and notoriety gave her the opportunity to start her great experiences. On board her plane Amelia went beyond all limits, she was an example for women of all times.

“The most interesting cup of chocolate I have ever drunk. I was sitting eighty thousand meters in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, alone ”

“Some of us have big runways built for them. If you have one, take off! But if you don’t, realize it’s yours responsibility take a shovel and build one yourself, for yourself and for those who follow after you ”

” The hardest thing is the decision to act. The rest is just tenacity. Fears are paper tigers. You can do whatever you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life and the path you take is the real reward. ”

Amelia did not return to the mainland alive from her last voyage (but we do not even have any trace of her remains), the mystery of the tragic disappearance has helped to fuel the myth of Amelia Earthart making her, especially in the United States, not only an aviation heroine but an icon of female emancipation.
